Chapter 634: What Crime?
The matter was greatly unexpected by Meng Shu, he originally wanted to tear his face with Liu Bei, and everyone broke up. However, looking at Liu Bei in front of him, he didn't seem to have any signs of asking his master for guilt.
Now his military horses are here, although they have formed a temporary formation, but they are not rigorous, and they are sparse. Moreover, the military horses are much less than Liu Bei's Yizhou army, if Liu Bei pursues him, he only needs to wave the army to kill him, and the military horses he has obtained may not be able to withstand the attack of the Yizhou army.
Then Liu Bei, it seems that there is no need to come over alone and say anything more to himself. The matter is already obvious, he did loot Chengdu City with his army, and made Liu Bei completely lose Chengdu City, what else do you have to say to yourself? Could it be that the Han people are really a state of etiquette, and before going to war, they must salute before the soldiers, and give themselves a war letter?
Meng Shu was a little scoffing, if he wanted to fight, could it be that he and Liu Bei had anything else to say?
As soon as he thought of this, Meng Shu also slapped his horse and went out of the battle, holding his sword and pointing at Liu Bei and shouting: "Governor Liu Bei, don't come to harm?" Could it be that you led an army to hunt down this king? Hum! This king is here now, and if you want to take this king's life, you can just wave your army and kill it, and you don't need to say more! β
If it weren't for the old Jing sent by Sima Zheng to say that Liu Bei had moved, Liu Bei really didn't want to say anything more to Meng Shu at this time. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, these barbarians are really hopeless, and if they are not careful, they will be so tired and embarrassed by him.
However, after several considerations, Liu Bei forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended to be stunned, and said to Meng Shu in surprise: "King Meng Huo, why did you say this? Pontus led his army to hunt you down? Okay, why did Pontus hunt you down? β
Liu Bei's acting skills are naturally at the level of an actor. The stunned expression on his face really made Meng Shu stunned, and he couldn't help but say, "Isn't it chasing and killing this king?" You...... How do you still not know about the changes in Chengdu? β
Meng Shu felt that at this time, he plundered Chengdu, which was equivalent to stabbing Liu Bei in the back. It is impossible for Liu Bei not to take this matter seriously. Unless. Liu Bei really doesn't know the situation in Chengdu now.
"What happened in Chengdu? Well, Pontus really doesn't know. I'm not afraid to make you laugh, this time, Ponturak is really ashamed. In the city of Padang, the governor of Pontus was defeated by a sudden attack by the New Han army. All the way from Badong City to Ba County, suddenly received the information of the loss of Yangping Pass, the governor of Pontus was in a hurry to return to Chengdu, intending to organize military horses to resist the new Han army that was killed from the direction of Yangping Pass. No, I haven't returned to Chengdu yet. I also received the news that King Meng Huo had withdrawn from Yangping Pass, and had led his army to prepare to withdraw to Chengdu. The governor of Pontus thought about it and felt that it should not be, the army of our Yizhou and your Nanban tribe, and the army of hundreds of thousands, we have not completely failed, and we still have a chance to deal with the New Han army. Therefore, I hurried here. I want to figure out why you're in such a hurry, King. Liu Bei pretended to be confused and said.
"Uh...... Governor, you really don't know? Meng Shu stroked his forehead speechlessly. Ask again with skepticism.
"Huh? Know what? Liu Bei looked puzzled.
Meng Yu pretended, and he really couldn't figure out whether Liu Bei really didn't know or fake, and he couldn't figure out what Liu Bei had to say when he caught up with him at the moment. However, in Meng Shu's heart, he was already mentally prepared to tear his face with Liu Bei, and guessed the purpose of Liu Bei chasing him to see him. It's better to open the skylight and say something bright, so as not to be confused by Liu Bei in your heart.
Therefore, Meng Shu simply said sincerely: "That, Dadu Governor, your Chengdu City is gone." This one...... Mainly, the king led the army back to Chengdu, at the invitation of Wu Ban and other generals, and it was difficult to resist the situation. At the invitation of the generals, this king plans to lead the army into the city of Chengdu to rest, and then work with the Yizhou army and horses of the Metropolitan Governor to fight against the New Han Army and defend Chengdu for the Metropolitan Governor. But I don't want to, after the king's army and horses entered the city of Chengdu, the people in the city criticized our barbarian soldiers a lot, and their words were extremely ugly. For example, our barbarian army, in order to help the governor of the capital, for the people of the entire Yizhou not to be enslaved by the new Han Dynasty, our barbarian soldiers fought bloodily on the front line, with heavy casualties, 200,000 barbarian troops, more than half of the dead and wounded, and only these 20,000 or 30,000 remnants of the defeated generals were left around the king. But who would have thought that after entering Chengdu City, he could not get the understanding of the people of Yizhou. Our barbarian army, following the customs of the country, spending money to buy some food from the people in the city, but they are unwilling to buy it for us, our soldiers are hungry and poorly clothed, why are we like this? Isn't it for the general public in Yizhou? But when he arrived in Chengdu, he was blinded and treated coldly. As a result, there was a dispute with each other, and I never thought that the subordinates of Wu Ban and other generals who entered the city with our barbarian army, after several days of evacuation, were also hungry and panicked, thinking that when they returned to Chengdu City, they had no merit and hard work, and what was the point of eating some food from the people in the city? β
That, Meng Huo said it very sincerely, but the words he said made Liu Bei really stunned, that, the truth of the matter, is this really the case? Panic comes as soon as you open your mouth, thisγThis is also an actor-level character.γ
I saw Meng Shu sigh innocently and painfully: "Alas...... Their Yizhou soldiers had a dispute with the people in Chengdu, but they were regarded as the soldiers of our barbarian army, which actually caused a riot among the people, and they went from the beginning of their white eyes to scolding, and then later, they actually came forward to attack our barbarian soldiers. At that time, this king had tried his best to prevent our barbarian soldiers from clashing with the people in Chengdu City, and told them that since the people of Yizhou did not welcome our barbarian soldiers, then we would just withdraw from Chengdu City. It's a pity that things are out of control, and the whole people are rioting. There is no way, we barbarian soldiers can't stand still and let those people be wounded and killed, can we? So...... This king ordered my barbarian army to persuade the people who rioted, and when it was ineffective, our barbarian army moved a little rough and used force to stop the people's riots. But I never thought that Huang Quan led the army and horses to attack us directly, but there was no way, in order to avoid more sacrifices, this king ordered my barbarian army to withdraw from Chengdu. β
Liu Bei listened, trembling a little, and Meng Shu said black as white. Liu Bei almost couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, he had seen shameless, but he had never seen someone as shameless as Meng Shu. Obviously, you led the army to loot Chengdu, but it was said that it was someone else's responsibility, you are not only right, but meritorious?
"And. After the king led the army to withdraw from Chengdu City, he found that Chengdu City was in chaos, and then thought that our barbarian army was so unpopular and loved by the people of Yizhou that it was not good for him to continue like this, and even if he stayed in Yizhou, it would be meaningless. It's not. Disheartened, this king led the remnants of the army to defeat and planned to return to the tribe. I have to fail the Metropolitan Governor. Meng Shu didn't wait for Liu Bei to speak, and he looked like I was wronged. He shook his head at Liu Bei and said: "Dadu Governor, you really don't need to persuade again, this king has already decided, since the people of Yizhou do not welcome us, then this king has decided to leave Yizhou first, and owes Dadu Governor a favor, Meng Shu can only repay later." β
Liu Bei listened, almost no vomiting blood.
The pinnacle is black and white. Where is the justice of heaven......
However, Liu Bei's mind. He kept thinking about the plan that Jing Lao told him, and at present, the only one he had was a plan that still had a glimmer of vitality and a chance to make a comeback. This made him suppress the anger in his heart and listened to Meng Shu's words.
Not only did he finish listening, but Liu Bei was for his own plan. also had to pretend to be a look of enlightenment, and followed Meng Shu's words: "It turns out that things are like this. It's too much! For the sake of my Liu Bei, the king sent 200,000 troops, but he suffered more than 100,000 casualties and paid such a sacrifice. But it is really undeserved to suffer such injustice and be so wronged. β
"Isn't it? The king's soldiers are already complaining about this. Meng Xu said angrily.
"No wonder, no wonder King Meng Huo is in such a hurry." Liu Bei nodded to show that he understood Meng Xu's distress.
"Isn't it? This king also thought that the governor of the capital was because he lost Chengdu and wanted to come to ask the king for his guilt. β
"Guilty? What is your sin, my king? Liu Bei said in surprise: "Actually, according to the governor of Bendu, the people in Chengdu really don't know what to do, don't say that the king, you just ordered the sergeants to persuade and block the attack, and the people were exposed, and it is not an exaggeration for you to kill them all." β
"Huh? Yes, that's the case......" Meng Shu was also a little stunned, and he didn't understand why Liu Bei said this, his military horses plundered Chengdu, and this became the way it should be? I couldn't help but say tentatively: "That, the Metropolitan Governor, those people are too crazy, in order to protect themselves, our soldiers killed a lot of people in Chengdu City by mistake, and this king asked himself to be guilty, so he ......"
"Wrong, wrong, what are you guilty of, my lord? Those people who don't know things are not sorry to die. The only pity is that these chaotic people have caused the governor of Bendu to lose Yizhou. Liu Bei said indignantly.
"The Governor, this king is also responsible...... But what else is there to do with you, the Governor? Meng Shu can also see that this Liu Bei definitely doesn't know anything, this kind of thing, if he can hide it from others, he will definitely not hide it from Liu Bei, he believes that there have already been Yizhou soldiers who fled from Chengdu City to explain the situation to Liu Bei. But Liu Bei didn't chase after him for this matter, so that means that there will definitely be something else.
"Oh, that's the case......" Liu Bei pretended to wake up again, and said to Meng Huo: "King Meng Huo, the governor of Pontus learned that the king was leaving Yizhou, and he hurriedly chased after him, because he wanted to ask King Meng Huo for something. β
"Huh? What's the matter? Meng Shu asked with a little vigilance.
"Alas, this matter really makes it a little difficult for Pontus to talk about it." Liu Bei said with a look of embarrassment and pain: "I think the king also knows the situation in Yizhou now. The New Han army had entered Yizhou from the north, and its army was unstoppable. And Xichuan, the country of abundance, is actually a territory surrounded by mountains, and now, let the Xinhan army attack in, my Yizhou army has no danger to defend. Chengdu is located on the plain, and whether it is lost or not is not lost, in fact, it does not have much to do with the final victory or defeat of the battle. Therefore, Pontus wanted to ......"
"Governor, let's not hide it, the New Han army is indeed strong, and my barbarian army is afraid that it is not the enemy of its army. If the Metropolitan Governor wants the king to transfer a large army to fight against the New Han army, I am afraid that the tribal leaders and cave masters under the king's account will not easily agree to send troops. Meng Xu thought that Liu Bei wanted him to send troops to help him again, so he quickly refused.
"No, no, no, it's not. The governor of Pondu is planning to ask the king for your permission, and the governor of Pondu will lead the Yizhou army to withdraw to the area of your southern barbarian tribe first, so that our Yizhou army and your barbarian army will have at least 600,000 or 700,000 troops combined. In addition, your Nanban region is full of some high and steep terrain, which is more conducive to our joint resistance to the New Han army. In this way, it will be of great benefit to you and me. Liu Bei said his purpose.
"What? Your Yizhou army wants to withdraw into my Nanban region? No way! Meng Shu refused without thinking.
For these aliens, although they have always coveted the Han Middle Earth, they often invade the Han Dynasty with their armies, and always want to occupy the land of the Han Dynasty. However, in turn, in their hearts, they are actually very afraid of the Han army entering their living area. Who knows how much impact the Han army's entry into their own tribal area will have on their own tribesmen? Meng Huo's heart is also a little related. He didn't feel anything when he swung his army to plunder the Han Chinese, but he was also worried that his own tribesmen would also be slaughtered by the Han army.
Generally speaking, these aliens will regard their territory of influence as a holy place, and foreigners cannot easily enter it. This kind of thing to lure wolves into the house, Meng Shu didn't want to do.
"No way?" Liu Bei frowned: "Why not?" You must know that only the terrain of your Nanban region is more conducive to our army and the New Han army. β
Meng Shu naturally didn't say what he was worried about, and found a more realistic excuse and said: "Governor, don't hide it, the Nanban region is almost all steep mountains, and in terms of terrain, it is indeed more conducive to dealing with the New Han army." But unfortunately, it is too barren, and we Nanban tribesmen, living in those places, life is unsustainable, it is really difficult. And all at once there were so many military horses of the Metropolitan Governor. After arriving in my barbarian area, your survival will be a problem, and there will be a lack of survival materials. β
"Hehe, the king doesn't have to think about the problem of survival materials, our Yizhou army will bring a lot of supplies, at least, there is no need to ask the king for material assistance."
"This, this is not ......" Meng Shu turned his brain, trying to find an excuse to refuse Liu Bei. (To be continued......)
